Photograph of interior of Temple Emanuel Synagogue's lobby located in Denver, Colorado. Architect Percival Goodman designed both the original 1956 building for Temple Emanuel and the 1960 sanctuary addition. Goodman was an internationally respected architect, known for his use of modern design in Jewish synagogues. He wrote extensively on synagogue design and became the most influential and prolific synagogue architect of his time. Temple Emanuel is the only example of Goodman's work in Colorado. It is also one of Goodman's largest and most sophisticated examples of his work in the Usonian style.
